El Cubano Kitchen -- A Little Taste of Cuba Right Here in the OC! If you haven't made your way to El Cubano Kitchen yet, stop what you're doing and go. This food truck is an absolute gem. I ordered the Picadillo Sloppy Joe -- ground beef simmered in a house-made tomato sauce with green olives, onions, and bell peppers on a soft Cuban roll -- and I am still thinking about it. Rich, layered, and deeply authentic. Every bite felt like a little piece of Cuban culinary tradition. The menu has something for everyone -- classic Cubano sandwiches, hearty Platos like Lechon and Ropa Vieja, appetizers like croquetas and tostones, and more. Impressive variety, all made with obvious care. This is not fast food. This is home cooking on wheels! The ambiance around this truck is something special -- it genuinely feels like you've been invited to someone's home for a homecooked meal. Vibrant tropical colors, hanging flower baskets, good energy all around. And the service is exceptional. Warm, friendly, and passionate. Luis's love for Cuban food and culture comes through in every interaction and ingredient. 10/10. Will be back again! read more

This food truck is without a doubt the best food truck in town. The Ropa Vieja is my absolute favorite sandwich. It is so delicious and tastes just like home. The Cuban sandwich is also amazing and the potato balls are top-notch. You'll never regret ordering food from this food truck. Every dish is full of flavor and made with love and passion, and it brings the flavors of Havana to Little Anaheim. The owner is also the kindest man. He brings his love for the food to every dish and you can tell. We usually find him at bottle logic in Anaheim and his food paired with their beer is a delightful pairing. You soon won't regret. I always forget to take photos of my food because I have to start eating it immediately because it's so delicious. read more

El Cubano Kitchen delivers incredible flavor and authenticity. The Cubano sandwich was outstanding--perfectly toasted bread, juicy pork, and a delicious balance of savory and tangy. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. It's one of the best sandwiches I've had, and I'd honestly eat it every day. Highly recommend! read more

El Cubano Kitchen - Ropa Vieja Sandwich - Cuban Near Me

Food was mediocre we drove 23 miles because it had a good review and the only other place that offered the Cuban sandwich was a mobile truck we couldn't track. The guys of the sandwich were subpar but the bread was good. The price for this was no great but I'm guessing he's riding the Disney coat tails of the area. Too many homeless people begging for money outside of a dingy storefront when we offered to buy food or sodas the beggars sneered and said cash only! Not a great location and I'm pretty sure the meat was cheap sliced up cold hot dogs but the sauces were good and covered that gross bit up some. Location was not good food was not good and prices were not good. Find the food truck if you really want a Cuban sandwich. My friend was in from Florida and he really wanted an authentic Cuban sandwich, such a disappointment especially since we drove so far to get there. read more

From the food to the excellent service, i can't get enough. Love is an understatement i have for this food truck. all the food is bomb really no wrong choices over there, especially to pair w a beer read more

Just had his food at Bottle Logic and fell in love!! Thank you for the great service and food. Definitely coming back for more.

Absolutely delicious! Best Cuban food I've ever had. Cubano and potato balls are a must try. So much love in every bite. This little food truck is superior in every way to that other big Cuban place that everyone loves so much. Service is very quick too. I'd give it 6/5 stars if I could. read more

I keep seeing them when we go to the Orange farmers market and have never had the opportunity to swing by. Until today... and glad we did!! They probably have the best potato balls I have ever tried. Way better than Porto's. My regret is that I didn't order more. Their chicken plate is so good, the sauce and beans were excellent! If you ever see them parked somewhere make sure you pass by and order more than one set of potato balls. read more

We had him at the food truck when he came to My apartment complex , the George . People were saying he was rude - I think he was just fine. Are you there to have a conversation or are you there to eat some good food? My bf finished his food within minutes. He scared that sandwich down , I couldn't even take a picture ! I might add he piles the meat to high heaven ! It was moist and delicious says my bf . I had a ground beef plate and it was so yummy . The rice was soft and moist and the beans were also done perfect ! Don't skip out on the fried plantain - you'll regret it . The potato balls puts Porto's to shame ! The food truck is cute and clean - you can tell he takes pride in his truck read more

I love a good cuban sandwich and this did not disappoint. So good!

**Review of Food Truck at Green Cheek** I recently ordered the ropa vieja from this food truck at Green Cheek, which consisted of rice, shredded beef, and black beans. Unfortunately, the dish was a major disappointment: the beef and beans were watered down, the rice was cold and crunchy, and the overall quality was far below expectations. The owner approached our group to discuss our dissatisfaction, but instead of offering a genuine apology or attempting to remedy the situation, he excused the lack of additional napkins by citing the high cost of supplies. His manner was more defensive than conciliatory. Other reviews have similarly noted the owner's rudeness. For me, this was strike one: bad food. Strike two: poor service. And strike three: an owner who fails to accept responsibility and instead blames the customers. I cannot recommend this food truck based on my experience. Update from Owner Luis: To your concern I don't have to apologize you for anything because I don't don't do anything wrong based on the Video Camara images that I have recorded at Sunday 11.48 am, question is the food is so bad why do you not return second that day I sold over $350 dollars related to ropa vieja ítem no one complained about despite the other person with you trying to ruin my reputation to, it you don't stop harassing I'm going to sued you for difamación My response: It looks like you remove your negative posts on your instagram and Facebook. Now you have publicly threatened me with telling the truth. I do not authorize you to use recordings of me. When you spoke with my group earlier you did not offer to refund the money for the food we purchased. At this point I would like my money back as basic decency and offer for free meals as a good gesture. For your information In California defamation lawsuits, you must present evidence that a statement of fact is provably false. If the person who made the alleged defamatory statement was telling the truth, it is an absolute defense to an action for defamation. This serves as your three-day notice. You have until June 14, 2024, to provide a refund. Failure to comply with this demand will result in additional actions which may adversely impact your business. read more

El Cubano Kitchen was at Bottlelogic today in Anaheim! I was very glad I had the chance to stop by and try out his food! Gotta say, I've never really had an authentic Cubano sandwich till today- and it's was delicious! I tried a few of his items like the Croquettes and Potato ball. They were fried to a perfect crispy and had great flavor! Don't forget to try the plantains!! Not too sweet not too fried or greasy. One of the best sandwiches and plantains I've tried in a while. I hope Bottle logic brings him back, I heard nothing but good things from my family and can't wait to try out more of his food! Also side note: His truck was so clean! He was working alone and handled my big party of 14! Food came out fast and delicious! DON'T FORGET TO TRY THE BREAD PUDDING! It was Heavenly! read more

I had the pleasure of eating at El Cubano Kitchen, great mobile spot outside of BottleLogic Brewery in Anaheim. I ordered the namesake El Cubano sandwich: succulent pork and sliced ham, the mustard and pickles cut through the fat from the pork, grilled until crunchy, fries were thin and crispy, the potato balls had a great outer crunch layer filled with seasoned ground beef, and the fried plantains were sweet (but a bit oily). All of the food paired well with the many different beers. Overall a great opportunity for Cuban food when you see the trailer set up on the streets. read more
